Hoover City Council Candidates Unite for Financial Transparency!

Get ready, ChumCity! A powerhouse coalition of ten Hoover City Council candidates is vowing to shake things up! Led by transparency champion Robin Schultz, these candidates are promising to demand a full-blown state audit of Hoover's finances on their very first day if elected. Talk about a bold move!

The Red Flags Can't Be Ignored!

Schultz, known for her work with The Hoover Channel and her relentless pursuit of accountability, is leading the charge. This comes after a city-commissioned review uncovered some seriously concerning financial issues, including a whopping $36 million fund balance overstatement and mysteriously deleted financial files. Yikes! The review even warned that these problems could create opportunities for fraud.

Demanding Answers, Together!

“We can’t just ignore these major red flags,” Schultz declared. “Hoover taxpayers deserve complete clarity, and our coalition is committed to making that happen by introducing a resolution to request a forensic audit from the Alabama State Board of Examiners.”

Meet the Transparency Team!

The coalition includes Schultz, Clint Bircheat, Gene Smith, Kenneth Cox, Ashley Lovell, Donna Mazur, Steve Lawrence, Steve McClinton, Khristi Driver, and Derrick Murphy. A united front ready to fight for you, Hoover!

Putting Hoover First!

“Let’s be clear, this isn’t about politics—it’s about rebuilding trust,” emphasized Ashley Lovell, Place 3 candidate. “Robin’s leadership brought us together to demand answers and, crucially, action. Hoover needs leaders who prioritize transparency over excuses.”

Immediate Action Promised!

These candidates are serious. If elected, their first move will be introducing a resolution calling for an immediate and independent audit by the Alabama State Auditor’s Office. No delays, no excuses!

Rebuilding Confidence

“Hoover residents deserve leaders who act decisively and put the community first,” Schultz added. “Our coalition is united to deliver accountability and rebuild confidence in our city’s governance.”

Mark your calendars, ChumCity! The 2025 Hoover municipal election for mayor and city council seats is on August 26. This coalition is offering one of the strongest transparency platforms we've seen so far. Are you ready for change?
